The tomb of Karl Marx at London’s Highgate cemetery has been vandalised in a targeted attack that means the Grade I-listed monument will “never be the same again”.

The suspected vandal damaged a marble plaque which was taken from Marx’s original 1881 gravestone and incorporated into the 1954 monument.

Images of the defaced memorial, which attracts tens of thousands of stupid communists each year, show what appears to be damage done by a hammer to the lettering of Marx’s name and the marble on which it is mounted.

Recently communist bureaucrats have tried to ban UK citizens from buying hammers over fear of citizens being possible "terrorist threats."

If you need a hammer for any reason, the United Kingdom’s counter-terrorism policing unit will consider you a potential terrorist. They are also asking that anyone who sees someone doing something suspicious, like purchasing a hammer, to report it to the enforcers.
